help Melody Time FAQ
What are the seven segments in Disney's Melody Time?
The 1948 film consists of 'Once Upon a Wintertime,' 'Bumble Boogie,' 'The Legend of Johnny Appleseed,' 'Little Toot,' 'Trees,' 'Blame It on the Samba,' and 'Pecos Bill.' Each segment sets an American popular or folk song to animation.
Is Melody Time available on Disney+?
It has been available on Disney+ in a slightly edited form — a cigarette-rolling gag in the 'Pecos Bill' segment has been trimmed in modern releases. Because classic package films rotate on and off the service, check current availability.
Is Melody Time a sequel to Make Mine Music?
Not a story sequel — Disney's 1946 Make Mine Music established the musical-anthology format, and Melody Time followed it in 1948 after Fun and Fancy Free in 1947. Melody Time is generally counted as Disney's tenth animated feature, made when the studio was still economizing after the war years.
Who appears in the Pecos Bill section of Melody Time?
The 'Pecos Bill' segment is framed by live-action appearances of Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers, with child actors Bobby Driscoll and Luana Patten listening to the tall tale. It's the film's longest and best-known sequence.
